🧾 Ingredients (Makes about 10–12 fritters)

- 1 small onion, finely chopped or grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley or coriander, chopped
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3–4 tbsp all-purpose flour (as needed)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ½ tsp paprika or chili flakes (optional)
- Oil, for frying (vegetable or canola oil works well)
👨🍳 Instructions & Methods
🔹 Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
- Grate the potatoes and place in a clean kitchen towel.
- Squeeze out as much water as you can — this makes the fritters extra crispy.
- Transfer the dried grated potatoes to a large bowl.
🔹 Step 2: Mix the Batter
- Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley/coriander, eggs, flour, and seasonings to the bowl.
- Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture holds together.
- Add more flour if it’s too loose.
🔹 Step 3: Heat the Oil
- In a frying pan, heat ¼ inch of oil over medium-high heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil and flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.
🔹 Step 4: Fry Until Golden
- Cook each fritter for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
🔹 Step 5: Serve
- Serve hot with sour cream, Greek yogurt, ketchup, or a spicy garlic dip.
- Sprinkle with extra herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness.
